Eric Cartman

Eric Theodore Cartman, commonly referred to by his family name, Cartman, is one of the four main characters in the animated series South Park . Cartman is voiced by the series co-creator Trey Parker.

Cartman is notably and darkly antisocial, portrayed as being extremely evil and often reacting in violent and over-dramatic ways to any event that involves him in the series. Common examples of such behaviour include a dislike and often open hatred of any race or group to which he does not belong, particularly of the Jews. This is the root of his intense rivalry with and dislike of Kyle Broflovski, and several other groups which differ from his world view in South Park, such as hippies. Plots often revolve around his manipulation of others to meet his own ends, regardless of the consequences, even if it can result in death and destruction.
